Channel24 reports viewers in SA are desperately trying to find where the bulletin went since the beginning of the 2014 FIFA World Cup. Two weeks into the SABC’s soccer coverage viewers are now wondering where SABC3 moved it to and if they’re missing it due to tuning in at the “wrong” times. The reality is that it doesn’t exist.
Meanwhile the SABC, which moved the Afrikaans news from SABC2, saying it had to make space for soccer matches and SABC1 programming, is now again showing news in the 19:00 timeslot – but the Xhosa and Zulu news bulletins.
The SABC says SABC3 is supposed to show the Afrikaans news but because SABC3 is also showing soccer matches this week, that it won’t be broadcasting the Nuus.
Let’s hope Afrikaanse nuus returns after the soccer spectacle.
